Universal credit is the main working age, means-tested benefit for people in Scotland and throughout the UK.
This is essential training if you are starting out as a welfare rights adviser in Scotland or need a good understanding of the benefits system.
You do not need to be a benefit expert to make a difference. This course is for anyone working with people in Scotland on low incomes or with additional needs.
Universal credit (UC) claimants often have difficulties getting the housing costs element included in their claim and having the right amount paid on time.
